<p>I echo the advise of parentstwo–don’t weigh self-studied APs in as heavily as the SATs.</p>
<p>Contrary to popular belief, they BARELY factor into the equation. When schools say they look at APs that means they like to see students TAKING AP courses. Nothing more, nothing less.</p>
<p>(Of course if you and another applicant have similar resumes then you will trump them with the AP exams, but it almost…never…happens that way)</p>
